Concepts specific to storage technologies will soon be offered by the College of Computer Studies of De La Salle University as a result of the school’s partnership with EMC Computer Systems.
Bro. Bernard Oca, ViceChancellor for LaSallian Mission and External Relations, said the involvement of DLSU in the EMC Academic Alliance Program is in line with the university’s move "to be a notch higher to international standard level."
The EMC Storage Technology course will be offered initially as an elective course before it is integrated into the main curriculum, explained Rachel Edita Roxas, Dean, College of Computer Studies in DLSU Manila. The target offering date is the third trimester in January 2009.
She expressed confidence that the EMC-DLSU Alliance program will address the urgency of information infrastructure.
Thru the EMC Academic Alliance Program, EMC partners with leading colleges and universities to build a strong understanding of storage technologies, all at no cost to the participating colleges and universities that aims to educate tomorrow’s information technology leaders for the highest growth segment in IT information storage.
IDC research forecasts a staggering 988 billion gigabytes of digital information will be created in year 2010. By year 2012, the world will need over one million skilled information management and storage professionals.
EMC’s support in the Program is the provision of Instructor Preparedness program, a process to get professors/instructors trained on the materials. EMC will provide a Web site to support this program, from which institutes will find support items including documentation, contact information and more.
